2. Nice!

   It would be more general purpose if you could configure the validator with the names of the two password fields. Maybe passed in the constructor?

   Thanks for a great snippet. ;-)

3. My friend Jeremy Kendall (http://www.jeremykendall.net) and I worked on this.

7. Im getting the Not match always, even if I put same passwords in both of the textbox..

   MyValidatePasswordConfirmation

   const NOT_MATCH = ‘notMatch’;

   protected $_messageTemplates = array(self::NOT_MATCH => 'Passwords do


   not match.’);

   public function isValid($value, $context = null)
{
$value = (string) $value;
$this->_setValue($value);

   if (is_array($context)) {
   if (isset($context['confirmation']) && ($value ==$context['confirmation'])) {
   return true;
   }
   } elseif (is_string($context) && ($value == $context)) {
   return true;
   }

   $this->_error(self::NOT_MATCH);
return false;
}


   And my Form
   $password = new ZendFormElement_Password(‘passwd’,array(
   ‘required’ => true,
   ‘label’ => ‘Password’,
   ‘size’ => 11
   ));

   $confirmation = new Zend_Form_Element_Password('confirmation',array(
'required' => true,
'label' => 'Re-Password',
'size' => 11
));
//$confirmation->addValidator('PasswordConfirmation',array('passwd'), true);


   Could you help me please…

8. the validator doesnt take any arguments. Just parse the validator to your elements

   
   // more form code here...
   // $password = new ZendFormElementPassword(.....);
   // $confirm = new ZendFormElementPassword(.....);
   
   $confirmValidator = new MyValidatePasswordConfirmation();
   $password->addValidator($confirmValidator);
   $confirm->addValidator($confirmValidator);
   
   

9. Nice way, but there is an already existing validator called ZendValidateIdentical

   ZendValidateIdentical supports also the comparison of form elements. This can be done by using the element’s name as token. See the following example:

   $form->addElement('password', 'elementOne');
$form->addElement('password', 'elementTwo', array(
'validators' => array(
array('identical', false, array('token' => 'elementOne'))
)
));
